Question

In a bus (2x-5) passengers bought 50 paisa tickets and (3x-2) bought 75 paisa tickets if the bus was 48 seater and was just full find the number of passengers for each category

Answer 1

Answer:

50 paisa ticket = 17

75 paisa ticket = 31

Step-by-step explanation:

total passengers = 48

50 paisa ticket passenger = 2x-5

75 paisa ticket passenger = 3x-2

so,

2x-5 + 3x-2 = 48

5x-7 = 48

5x = 48+ 7

x = 55 / 5

x = 11

now,

2x-5 = 2(11)-5 = 17

3x-2 = 3(11)-2 = 31
